Led by James Dunkly and the Rev. Gianluigi Gugliermetto on Wednesdays from Jan. 12 to April 6. The class will be an exploration of the “Book of Signs” of John's gospel (John 1-12) with a focus on symbols and their role in psychological and spiritual life. Water and wine, ladders and snakes, banquets and temples may appear in dream, just as they do in the Gospel of John. This class is poised between a rigorous use of the historical-critical method and a Jungian approach. The hypothesis to be verified is that the text of John's Gospel leads its readers into an in-depth analysis of their life stories and can be effectively used as a tool in the process of “individuation” (i.e., becoming oneself).

Dunkly is a professor at Bloy House who studied theology at Oxford University (U.K.) and Brite Divinity School of Texas Christian University before completing a Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University (1982). He taught New Testament for many years at Nashotah House and Episcopal Divinity School. Gugliermetto has studied music, philosophy, and theology both in his native country of Italy and in the United States. He was granted his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion and theology in 2008 (Claremont Graduate University). He is an Episcopal priest, rector of Christ Church, Ontario, and director of the Center for Spirituality.

Suggested donation is $150. The class will be limited to 12 students.

In this third year of "Inspiring Stories," the Guibord Center and IslamiCity are bringing together people with rich spiritual backgrounds and diverse perspectives to share powerful stories from the heart and invite you into the conversation. Our January speakers will share their experiences with the pain and injustice of racism. Hearing these truths is essential in order to create healing and change. They give us a chance to begin to understand the many ways that racism harms our communities and our country at large. Storytellers for this event will be announced soon.

Bishop Diocesan John Harvey Taylor will install the Rev. Nathan A. Biornstad as rector of St. Wilfrid's. The prayers and presence of the diocesan community are invited (clergy: white stoles). The service will be in person and livestreamed. Registration to attend the in-person service is requested: email admin@stwilfridschurch.org. An outdoor reception will follow. Masks are required indoors.

Program will include Concerto No. 1 in E minor, opus 11, by Frederic Chopin (1810 – 1849).
